I am looking for information on radiation burns. My Mom finished 4 weeks of radiation to her neck and chest for SCLC on Tuesday. Now she has raw burns on her neck wherever something irritated her skin. We are cleaning it with saline and applying Silvadene cream but what else?? The raw areas seem to be getting bigger and she is miserable. They weep and then the skin sloughs off on her clothes. We've tried to keep everything off of the spots, but it's hard at night. She doesn't even want to leave her house. I appreciate any ideas from those who know what I'm talking about first hand...the nurses say we're doing everything we can.
